Is this the correct way to write pulse of my heart If I am referring to my husband? Mo chuisle mo chroí Thank you in advance for your help :)


Like that, no, it's incorrect. Like that it would render into English as something like "my pulse of my heart".

If you separated it with a comma, "mo cuisle, mo chroí" it would translate as "my pulse, my heart". To simply say "Pulse of my heart" you would say, in Irish, "cuisle mo chroí". In either case, you wouldn't say this to the person in question, rather, you would say it about them.

If you want to address the person you would use the vocative, "a cuisle mo chroí", "Oh pulse of my heart".


Thank you so very much for your detailed response. I greatly appreciate it :) May I ask if you agree with the other respondent in that there should be an h in cuisle?


Yes, that was a typo on my part. It should be "a chuisle mo chroí". Mea culpa.
